FictionAll That We Don´t Know
by María de Alva
Four children have to deal with the killing of their father in violent, 1970's Northern Mexico. Grief does not stop because nobody in the family wants to talk about the murder for fear of disrupting family unity. The story is written from the perspective of four narrators. The first is a woman who tries to find the truth using her own recollection, photographs and a USB. A second narrator is a police detective who was the lead investigator of the killing and keeps a detailed file and realizes something doesn´t quite add up. A third narrator is a middle-aged woman, facing a cancer diagnosis and who, in the middle of treatment, starts remembering things about her father. The novel takes us deep into the dark wolrd of the 23 September Communist guerrilla in Mexico, weaving elements of historical fact and fiction, and trying desperately to answer questions about the need to for the truth.

May 2022Spielarten des Kompromisses
by Véronique Zanetti
Kompromisse sind nicht beliebt, aber im Alltag so unentbehrlich wie in der Politik. Das liegt daran, dass konfligierende Interessen und Überzeugungen oft prinzipiell nicht zur Deckung gebracht werden können. Dann ist es vernünftig, sich auf eine gewaltfrei und gemeinschaftlich ausgehandelte »zweitbeste Lösung« einzulassen – auf einen Kompromiss. Véronique Zanetti zeigt anhand zahlreicher Beispiele, wie sich verschiedene Spielarten des Kompromisses in individuellen und sozialen Entscheidungsprozessen, in Politik, Moral und Recht je anders gestalten. Eine philosophische Reise durch die Welt der Kompromisse.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2021De-centering queer theory
Communist sexuality in the flow during and after the Cold War
by Bogdan Popa, Gurminder Bhambra
De-centering queer theory seeks to reorient queer theory to a different conception of bodies and sexuality derived from Eastern European Marxism. The book articulates a contrast between the concept of the productive body, which draws its epistemology from Soviet and avant-garde theorists, and Cold War gender, which is defined as the social construction of the body. The first part of the book concentrates on the theoretical and visual production of Eastern European Marxism, which proposed an alternative version of sexuality to that of western liberalism. In doing so it offers a historical angle to understand the emergence not only of an alternative epistemology, but also of queer theory's vocabulary. The second part of the book provides a Marxist, anti-capitalist archive for queer studies, which often neglects to engage critically with its liberal and Cold War underpinnings.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2017The divorce of King Lothar and Queen Theutberga
Hincmar of Rheims's De divortio
by Rachel Stone, Charles West
In the mid-ninth century, Francia was rocked by the first royal divorce scandal of the Middle Ages: the attempt by King Lothar II of Lotharingia to rid himself of his queen, Theutberga and remarry. Even 'women in their weaving sheds' were allegedly gossiping about the lurid accusations made. Kings and bishops from neighbouring kingdoms, and several popes, were gradually drawn into a crisis affecting the fate of an entire kingdom. This is the first professionally published translation of a key source for this extraordinary episode: Archbishop Hincmar of Rheims's De divortio Lotharii regis et Theutbergae reginae. This text offers eye-opening insight both on the political wrangling of the time and on early medieval attitudes towards magic, penance, gender, the ordeal, marriage, sodomy, the role of bishops, and kingship.The translation includes a substantial introduction and annotations, putting the case into its early medieval context and explaining Hincmar's sometimes-dubious methods of argument.

by Julian Axat
This book chronicles Julián's journey to his role as a juvenile defender in the province of Buenos Aires, from which they sought to oust him through harassment and political trials. Others would follow the path he paved: those trained by him, officials and defenders who, witnessing his work, learned to commit to the adolescents and their heart-wrenching stories that he brought to light and presents to us again in these tales.
